must either veto their resolution or
prove false to my convictions of rIsht
and open this college for pi ctlces which

The reading was checked by several
of the members OF the board, who called
ont, "Oa, that won't do" 1--WE cao't
stand that" and crsatsd con nsidera bic
confusios. Finally, when order had
been restored, DR.. OAld Well again pro.

ITO have done the latter might have
given little concern to DR.. Wolf. and to
do the former wonld have been to mt q

and some OF you know how effectively
be has used that cudgel.

The president then gave an accou ut Of
how the faculty had acted in relati to
oonferrinR . csrtain degree, by refusing
to vote either for or against it. He also
stated how the bali came off In the
Oasksy Building. and said that one of
the parties involved In the contest was
heard TO say: I'VE II make 1t hot for
the old man."
Continuing, he read rs follows:
"Gentlemsp. . threat was never more
|persistently aud dete ;tn inedly executed.
Some OF you know full we'll how they
have made it hot for the old mau They
have burdened mo with anxiety; thsy
have hedRed my way; they have hung
together as weight upon every step;
beer tryi ing IN ac vance, they have pulled
down while have bsen tryipg 20 build

the Widest rumors about the cond ton
OF the college representing it as On the
verge o. "disintegratlon and dissolu.

my labors which, a. the helt, sre unu. i.
sually severe. They have kept me u
whole year In suspense, and undecided
as to what course / ought TO pursue.

and systematically worked to destroy
my influence, to create prejudice and
hinder my work. All thi, he has done
so cunningly that ha imagined that hi is
tracks were covered up"
At this time William f. Causey arose, &,
interrupted the doctor and offered toe
following pream BILE and resolutions:
